Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Darius Taylor at the Round 3 slot, a reach of 26 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Morgan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Max Klare
A tidy bit of business in No. 50, where Max Klare graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Bud Clark
Value with a capital V on Bud Clark in the 82nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darius Taylor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Taylor. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in pick 118 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Roderick Kearney
No edge and no loss on Roderick Kearney in slot 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They let Bray Hubbard come to them and pounced at slot 124. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in pick 157; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cameron Calhoun
Cameron Calhoun is a better player than Round 5, Pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jack Velling
They paid up for Jack Velling at the 196th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jeremiah Cobb
They read the board right and Jeremiah Cobb was the payoff at No. 247. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Semaj Morgan
A slide stopped in pick No. 249, with Semaj Morgan worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
